Decorative brass tin sent by Princess Mary to members of the British, Colonial and Indian Armed Forces for Christmas 1914. Over 426,000 of these tins were distributed to those serving on Christmas Day 1914. The tins were filled with various items including tobacco, confectionary, spices, pencils, a Christmas card and a picture of the princess.
The idea was the initiative of Princess Mary, the 17-year-old daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. Princess Mary organised a public appeal which raised the funds to ensure that 'every Sailor afloat and every Soldier at the front' received a Christmas present. Due to the strong public support for the gift, which saw £162,591 12s 5d raised, the eligibility for the gift was widened to include every person 'wearing the King's uniform on Christmas Day 1914', about 2,620,019 servicemen and women.

0.2mm resolution. Printed the lid with the thinner parallel to the y-axis since the moving bed on the yaxis may have toppled it over if i printed it parallel to the x-axis. no supports. painted with brown 3 coats, then put semi-gloss sealer, then rubbed some rub n buff antique gold onto it, then sealed it again. The lid didnt have much detail on it due to the scan resolution but the gold brings out the small protrusions making it look cool. Highly recommend watching this video if you'd like to print small miniatures , slow acceleration and jerk help alot in ensuring a clean print. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqEWl51s9Rw
